4 Trends To Welcome Autumn On Your Porch Or Patio

9/22/2021

It’s time for the leaves to start changing color; perhaps your outdoor home decor could use some enhancing, too. Why not start with the porch or patio? These four trends are fairly easy to achieve and scream Autumn.

1 - Always Include Pumpkins
Would it even be fall without pumpkins? Rather than just carving them, you could paint them and arrange them in planters, as well. Their composition could also be displayed on the steps, either symmetrically or asymmetrically.

2 - Light the Mood
A warm glow against the colorful leaves creates a classic fall aesthetic. String lights wrapped around the rails or dangling from the ceiling are a great option. Why stop there? Put some lanterns and a firepit or a custom SteelStuff fireball in the mix and feel the warmth you are creating.

​3 - Select An Autumn Color Scheme
You know the ones: oranges, yellows, reds, and browns. One way to do this is with potted plants. Orange and teal decor is another popular option for 2021. If you want a subtle change, you can simply repaint your door. Lean a custom steel welcome sign from SteelStuff against your door and choose your favorite Fall themed tokens to magnetically place around it.

4 - Keep It Cozy
If you’re the secluded type, this trend is for you. Turn your patio into your little lounge by switching out the furniture to that of harvest theme. How about this gold vein coffee table or stool from SteelStuff? Add a broom against the wall and some privacy screens around the perimeter, and you’ve got it!

If you’re looking for an enchanting autumn porch or patio, make sure to snag these steel accents and incorporate these fads. It’s a timeless way to celebrate the changing of the weather. Happy pumpkin season!

4 Ways To Create A Natural Vibe When You’re Stuck Indoors

8/3/2021

You probably wouldn’t be spending so much time indoors lately if it weren’t for the lingering wildfire smoke in Alberta. Fortunately, escaping the poor air quality doesn’t mean you can’t take a piece of Mother Nature indoors with you! We’ve gathered outdoorsy trends that will inspire you to create an environment to lift your spirits.

Spoiler: Nature Is Good For You.

Allowing yourself a comfortable home is self care, and this is the time for that. The air quality is dangerous for those with asthma as well as pets, and it’s harder to see. Ironically, though, bringing plants indoors will improve the air quality of your home.

The mental benefits are so worth it, too. If you have the indoor blues, know that botanicals in the home decrease depression. Natural reminders are calming, and they boost happiness, creativity, energy, along with memory performance. Make a garden that grows on shelves as pictured above!

Feel Like You’re Outside With These Design Fads.

The outdoor-indoor lifestyle has been popular among Pinterest lately; steal these ideas to join the happy homeowners:

  1. Start with one room. Not ready to turn your entire home into a jungle? It’s okay, you can start slow. Try dedicating a single room to a forestry feel. A SteelStuff privacy screen would be a great way to give this area some volume. All our designs work inside and out, check out our branch, leafy and cherry blossom designs from nature!
  2. Incorporate nature into your furniture. You have so many options here, such as earthy textures and natural materials. Use resources like wood and stone. See our stone table above which comes in an array of designs and colours.
  3. Utilize a colour scheme. The key is green. Just seeing the color allows you to reap the mental health benefits. You could even choose a forest-like pallete. Bonus points if you can find a way to let natural lighting in.​
  4. Joy is in the little things. You collectors out there will have fun with this. Gathering dried botanicals, pebbles, and crystals are trending now more than ever. Other cute collectibles include potted plants, custom signs, and little steel critters.

Ah, how nice it will be to take a deep breath of fresh air in your home! All is not lost in Calgary; your choice of interior design has a tremendous effect on your lounging experience. Stay safe!​
